Homemade Baked Tortilla Chips Recipe

by Two Peas on May 21, 2010

I posted our edamame guacamole recipe this week and mentioned that we made homemade baked tortilla chips to go with our guacamole. Well, I received several emails and comments from readers wanting to know how we made our chips. So today is your lucky day, I am sharing our simple recipe for baked tortilla chips.

We purchase corn tortillas from a local Mexican market, they are cheap and fresh. We cut the tortillas into triangles. We like a strong, big chip for dipping, so we cut the taco size tortillas into four large triangles. If you want smaller chips, just cut them smaller. No frying is necessary, we lightly spray the chips with cooking spray, sprinkle them with salt, and bake them until they are crisp.

These chips are easy to make and much better for you than fried tortilla chips. Homemade baked tortilla chips are perfect for dipping. We love eating them with:

Ingredients:

Directions:

1. Preheat the broiler to high. Put corn tortilla triangles on a large baking sheet. Don't overlap the chips. If you want to make a large batch, fill a second pan and only bake one at a time.

2. Spray the triangles lightly with cooking spray. Turn over triangles and spray again. Sprinkle with salt, to taste.

3. Bake in the oven for about 3-4 minutes. Turn chips over and bake for another five minutes, or until chips are golden brown and crisp. Make sure you don't go too far while the chips are in the oven. They will bake quickly!

Becky-we go to a couple Mexican markets in Salt Lake City. One is on State Street and about 900 S. It has a yellow sign. The other one is on 900 W and maybe 100 S? Sorry I don’t know the names. They are both really cheap. Check them out sometime.

I made some of these for a Mexican dinner a few weeks ago and people went crazy over them! I brushed them with olive oil that was sprinkled with a little bit of smoked paprika and lots of salt. I was just cleaning out my freezer and found some corn tortillas. Time to make some!
